Replying to: smpg2613 (Jun 26, 2009 1:12 pm) I have a 2003 Durango, our air worked fine last year. Just like two others I've read here, we also lost cold air up-front, but cold in back. Everything works fine other than no a/c up-front. We went to the dealership today for dioagnostics. We found that the front expansion valve is restricted, this cost us $75.00 to find out. The repair bill will be around $308.00 minus the $75.00 for testing. The dealership said this would fix the problem. We are waiting on parts, should be in tomorrow, but we are leaving tomorrow for vacation. The mechanic said that the valve restricts flow of freon to front of car, but allows to go to the back. It makes since to me so I guess we will have it repaired. I hope soon, thank GOD it is a small trip for vacation, hooott outside. I hope this helps others with the same problem. Other places than dealership probably be cheaper.

This resister is by the blower motor. When you take it out it just looks like a long-flat piece of metal, this controls your blower speeds and fan. Mine had a bad prong, it works fine now. The part was under $10.00 at dealership.
